WD73 182 GOVT COLLECT � MISSOULA MONT APR 22 1010A MARSHALL E DIMOCK US IMMIGRATION AND NATURALIZATION SERVICE
IF PRISON BUREAU REPRESENTATIVE CAN ARRIVE BY THURSDAY I WILL WAIT TO GET HIS REACTION TO OUR PLANS. COLLAER WILL BE HERE ANYWAY. CERTAIN IMPORTANT DECISION SHOULD AWAIT MY RETURN TO CONFER WITH YOU ALTHOUGH WE ARE PROCEEDING WITH PLAN TO MOVE FIVE HUNDRED IN THREE WEEKS OR LESS. SEVERAL DAYS HAVE BEEN LOST BY FAILURE OF CORPS AREA TO FURNISH COMMANDING OFFICER WITH NECESSARY INSTRUCTIONS. HOWEVER ACTUAL CONSTRUCTION AND REPAIR WORK STARTS TODAY. WE ROUGHLY ESTIMATE THA.T ADDITIONAL EXPENDITURE HERE OF FROM SIXTY TO SEVENTY FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS WOULD PROVIDE FACILITIES FOR FIFTEEN HUNDRED MEN WITHOU CROWDING AND WHICH IN AN EMERGENCY WOULD ACCOMMODATE OVER TWO THOUSAND. IF THIS WOULD ELIMINATE NECESSITY OF USING FORT LINCOLN A SAVING OF AT LEAST ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS PER ANNUM WOULD BE EFFECTED. ALL SEAMEN TRANSFERRED TO FORT MISSOULA SHOULD BE VACCINATED WITH ROCKY MOUNTAIN OR SPOTTED FEVER TICK SERUM WHICH CAN BE PROCURED FROM US PUBLIC HEALTH LABORATORIES AT HAMILTON MONTANA AND IN VIEW OF DAMAGE CONDITION HOSPITAL HERE I FEEL THAT FIRST CONTINGENT SHOULD BE VACCINATED BEFORE LEAVING ELLIS ISLAND.
